Halflife: [GoldSource/CS][Inchoerence] Water fall damage

Created on 22 Apr 2019 · 5Comments · Source: ValveSoftware/halflife

If you fall into shallow water, you should take fall damage as you would if you regularly fell that distance. Only if you fall into deep, swimmable water, will you not take any fall damage.

Or at least some knockback/damage. Right now, is a bit too 'unreal'..

This would be a serious change in gameplay so i wouldn't recommend it, at least not as an on-by-default feature. Many maps rely on this (e.g. Nipper maps).

Yes, I thought about this (popular method in zombie escape), that's why I recommended at least a knockback (or screen effect like HS) for a little realism :)

I don't think this is a good idea, not for this game at least.

Yeah, I would say keep gameplay mechanics the same as to not break any mods or custom maps. If it's working as intentional and not an exploit, there's no reason to change it.

I agree that integrating this into the game proper is too big of a change to gameplay mechanics. Having this available as a mod is a perfectly fine way to enable it.
